Their daughter Marie was a beauty at Redwood High School and a beautiful person also. She and her granddaughtr generously provided a number of the photos seen here.

Louise Wells Walker was the daughter of Bennie H. and Carrie Wells. Her siblings included, Marville, Elijah, Dorothy, Luther, Lether and Charles. Carrie was well known to Redwood Football fans. She came to every game and walked the sidelines encouraging players and letting the refs know in no uncertain term what she thought of a bad call.
